    JS> Let me clear up a misunderstanding that I had. I was trying to create   
    JS> an netmail message using the SBBS's web interface.  I   
    JS> hadn't logged in locally or via telnet to try to enter a netmail. An   
    JS> option to enter a netmail message doesn't seem to be available via the   
    JS> web interface. An "netmail" message area (Sub) was only available IF I   
    JS> created a sub named netmail. Which has been pointed out was not the   
    JS> correct procedure. Once I logged in via telnet I was able to create a   
    JS> netmail message and SBBSECHO promptly scan-n-packed it out. Which BinkD   
    JS> promptly sent out.   
      
   FYI, I just looged onto my web interface and there is a option for e-mail in   
   the left column. Click that it shows received email.  Above that there is a   
   button for New Email.  Remember, you can send either fowarded netmail   
   (name@x:xxx/xxx) or email (name@whatever.com) from that screen.  If you want to   
   create an areafix type in the to:      
      
   The fact remains you still need to tell Synch where your netmail folder is and   
   I explained above.  Synch will put it in that folder and generate a semaphore   
   for your mailer. Synch is smart but not that smart as to take a guess where the   
   netmail goes.   
      
   Good luck...
